Task 1- Review Previous Geologic and Subsurface Information <br /> a. Review subsurface information, existing construction data, and other available <br /> geotechnical reports in the vicinity regarding subsurface soil and groundwater <br /> conditions. <br /> Task 2- Plan the Exploration Program and Obtain Permits <br /> a. Complete a site visit to locate the proposed borings, plan the traffic control operations, <br /> and develop right-of-way permit applications, as required. <br /> i. Provide a recommendation as to the number and locations of borings. Include <br /> rationale in Geotechnical Engineer's choice in the number and locations of <br /> borings. <br /> ii. Locate all borings within paved surface so as to measure and record paved <br /> surface types and thickness. <br /> b. Submit permit applications, traffic control plans, and boring exploration plans to City of <br /> Everett for review. <br /> Task 3 - Field Explorations and Laboratory Testing <br /> a. Complete a site visit to meet with utility representatives and clear boring locations. The <br /> City's Survey Consultant will hire a private utility locator to aid in clearing the borings <br /> due to the numerous utilities. Coordinate with City's Survey Consultant to allow boring <br /> completion prior to surveyor's field work completion so as to eliminate additional trip <br /> by surveyor. <br /> b. Explore subsurface soil and note groundwater conditions at the site by drilling up to 12 <br /> borings to depths of 10 feet. Complete field explorations under the direction of a <br /> geotechnical engineer or geologist. The explorations will be located in the field by <br /> measuring or pacing from existing site features such as driveways, structures and other <br /> site features shown on the drawings. The Geotechnical representative will maintain a <br /> detailed log of each exploration and obtain samples of the various materials <br /> encountered. Record pavement depths and pavement types encountered. The samples <br /> will be returned to geotech's office for additional examination and analysis, as <br /> necessary, for development of recommendations. Remove and dispose all soil cuttings <br /> from the site. City will assist in finding disposal site for non-contaminated cuttings. <br /> c. Perform laboratory tests on representative samples of the soils, including tests for <br /> moisture content, density, and particle size distribution. Based on the subsurface soil <br /> conditions encountered in the borings,triaxial strength tests may also be necessary. <br /> d. Evaluate pertinent physical and engineering characteristics of the soils based on the <br /> results of the field exploration, laboratory testing and experience. <br /> Task 4- Provide Geotechnical Design Recommendations <br /> a. Describe site conditions including detailed subsurface soil conditions encountered based <br /> on results of Tasks 1 and 3 above. A geologic description of the area will be provided <br /> based on published information and geotech's experience in the area. <br /> 2 <br />
